Mr Neal, photographer, of Tennyson-street, has had his studio nicely fitted up, and with the additions that have been made, it is now very complete. A nice light has been secured, a large stock of accessories have been procured, and everything done to ensure the comfort of the sitter. Some excellent specimens of Mr Neal's work are on view in the window, including some life size mezzotint and opal enlargements of rare merit.

Mr W. H. Neal, photographer, of Tennyson street, took a series of very successful views of the solar eclipse this morning. When completed these photographs will be extremely interesting, and should command a large sale.

Mr W. B. Neal [sic], the well-known photographer, has invented a new process which he has called "The Opalite," and we yesterday inspected a number of specimens of the work turned out by him by the new method. The pictures possess a breadth and richness that cannot be found in the usual style of photograph, and are certain to become the rage. A peculiarity about the process is that the surface cannot be injured by water, as is the case with all methods in which gelatine provides the face. Another is that light draperies come out the best, which is an advantage the value of which will be at once recognised by ladies. Mr Neal will shortly have a number of these specimens on view at his studio.

Mr W. H. Neal, the well-known photographer, has three very artistic pictures now on view at his studio. Two of them have the whole length of the breakwater as part of the background, and one of these two shows a ketch in full sail leaving the head of the work. The third, a moonlight scene, includes part of the coast line the town side of the breakwater. In this last picture the masses of cloud and the light effects are very fine, and the others present pretty cloud and spray effects. Pictures like this fully justify Mr Neal's claim to be an artist in photography, and they are worth careful inspection.

Mr W. H. Neal, the well-known photographer, is now successfully manufacturing photographic dry plates of the highest quality. We believe he is the only maker in New Zealand; as although other attempts have been made they were not satisfactory. Mr Neal make [sic] at this time of the year sufficient plates to last him for twelve months, in addition to a quantity which he makes by request for sale. He has a most ingeniously arranged atelier for carrying on the work, the details including several of his own inventions for preparing the emulsion, floating the plates with it, drying them, and storing. He was first led to attempt the manufacture by the unequal quality of the imported plates, and after partial failures achieved such success that he has used only his own plates for a long period, and would consider it a misfortune to have to use others. The well-known excellence of his finished work is the best testimony to his success as a dry-plate maker.

There are at present on view in the window of Mr H. P. Cohen, Hastings-street, a number of photographic enlargements, the work of Mr W. H. Neal, photographer, Tennyson-street. Two life-size portraits by the patino-bromide process have elicited unanimous approval from all who have seen them, and for high-class workmanship and artistic finish they are far superior to the general run of the work executed outside the district. Amongst the enlargements are three specimens of the latest London novelty, the sepia-type process, now exhibited for the first time in the Australasian colonies. Mr Neal received a letter from a friend in the same profession in London, detailing the lines along which experiments were being made towards the perfecting of a new process. Mr Neal himself commenced experimenting in the same direction, and after five weeks' trial, succeeded in producing pictures which for delicacy and softness are far in advance of any process previously brought out, while the absolute permanency of the process is one of its most important features. In order to demonstrate this extreme permanency some experimental tests were shown to our representative.
Specimens of the sepia-type, platino-matt-bromide, and gelatine-chloride prints, were exposed to the action of several strong chemicals, with the result that the pictures by the new process were unaffected by even a lengthened exposure. The pictures are produced on a rough saxe paper, this contributing to the softness of tone so noticeable in them. The new process is one that requires elaborate manipulation, at least five sets of chemicals being used. While such artistic work can be produced in the district at prices that compare with any other house in the colony, it behoves people requiring portraiture of this description to encourage local industry.
